Not familiar with Framer, but if it’s like Webflow, I get why. It’s a lot faster building something with no-code, and then export the code. It takes a lot of pain away

@claudiu_cogalniceanu I didn’t export from webflow before. Is it giving a good results?

@isatanis I’m not sure tbh, because you can’t export the code from the free plan. But from what I saw, it’s similar to wordpress where you can add animations, custom javascript, and export everything (but you need to pay for it). I’m currently using TeleportHQ for design and code export. It’s pretty basic, but it’s pretty good for a free service

Wordpress is the legend :-)

@bybshkn WP is great for small websites for sure. But if you're looking to have a large website with a full content studio, I'd suggest going with headless CMS, like Sanity.

I know and tried both of them! Webflow is a lot more advanced, but Framer is faster. If you're a designer looking for fast implementation of your designs, I'd recommend Framer. If you want more fancy and advanced websites, go for Webflow. For example: I build www.paperlikefonts.com with Framer And I built www.cremeri.com with Webflow (it has 3D animations etc.)

@enispresheva3 Good explanation 🙌 Did you try to do custom things? Which one is better for this perspective?

@enispresheva3 tbh as a software developer I don't like Webflow but otherwise, it takes too much time to build a landing page.

We have built a lot of custom integrations for our Customer Experience on viewflip with Webflow. Custom Script Code Blocks are limited to 10k characters. On one page we needed 18 separate Custom Code Blocks for our Integration. I like Webflow a lot. Used Slider Revolution for 10 years before, as a Wordpress extension. Feel free to get notified on our launch at May 14th via https://producthunt.com/products... Best regards!

My happiness quotient for both - Webflow: 50% Framer: 80% Both platforms have a lot to evolve, but what I see until now is that Framer doing better that Webflow in terms of ease of use. But personally for my client projects, I prefer headless CMS, especially Sanity. (Edit: It's not no-code, but it's worth it.)

Choosing between Framer and Webflow depends on your specific needs: Framer is great for high-fidelity prototyping and interaction design, while Webflow excels in visually building responsive websites without coding. Consider your project's focus and skill set to make the best choice.

It depends on your needs (for the website) and how you like to design websites - more like Figma, or more like traditional development with block-based design.

I prefer webflow, there is a lot more functionality in terms of their CMS and integrations.

Choosing between Framer and Webflow really depends on your specific needs: if you're focused on high-fidelity prototyping and interaction design, Framer is unbeatable. However, for building responsive websites with a visual editor without much code, Webflow is your go-to.

The more simply we can do something complex the more widely adapted it will become

I’ve built websites using both. And for some reason Framer just feels so much more intuitive to me. I recently used Framer for https://govolt.io and even the fact it lets me write React code overrides makes it feel so much more powerful to me!

I started with Webflow years ago and have stuck with it. It’s really flexible and I’ve yet to find something I can’t do with it. I haven’t tried Framer in years but I’m intrigued to see how it evolved. It seemed more like a Figma competitor early on. So… it must have pivoted a bunch in the meantime.
